Bordon’s History
Bordon boasts a rich history that has shaped its unique character. Originally a quiet rural village, Bordon rose to prominence in the late 19th century when it became a key military town.
During both World Wars, Bordon played a crucial role in training troops and housing military personnel, leaving a lasting legacy that is still evident today in its architecture and historic sites.
The decommissioning of the military barracks in the town, sparked an extensive redevelopment plan to turn Bordon into an Eco-town, blending its historical roots with a modern vision for sustainable living.
While the town now focuses on innovation and community, its military history is preserved through landmarks like the Bordon Military Museum, ensuring that the stories of its past remain a vital part of its evolving identity.
